Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer made its debut in Japan last week, releasing for the 3DS on July 30 in Nintendo’s homeland. The game, which is a spin-off from the main series and allows players to design homes for the town’s animal inhabitants, has sold very well, moving over half a million units in just the first few days since launch.

Other top sellers for the week include the latest Yo-kai Watch game for the 3DS, in second position with over 100,000 sales, and Splatoon for the Wii U in fourth position. Splatoon is now just shy of total sales of 500,000.

Not surprisingly, the release of Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer led to a huge increase in 3DS hardware sales, with more than double the number of New 3DS LL sales compared to last week, taking out the number one position in the hardware charts.

Animal Crossing Happy Home Designer will be making its way to Western shores later this year, on September 25 in the US and October 2 in Europe. Are you excited about playing this game? Let us know your thoughts on the game’s success in Japan in the comments section.
